Do you like animals? And plants? Did you know there are beings that are half plant, half animal, and that represent emotions? Would you like to meet and understand Anger with Santiago's help?

Emotional intelligence involves emotional awareness: emotions are tendencies toward action, a movement generated in a certain direction, depending on whether the experience is interpreted as pleasant or unpleasant. This story stems from the desire that, as adults, we recognize children's need for someone to guide them in learning to manage their discomfort. Anger is one of the emotions that has generally been labeled as negative without considering how essential it is in life to learn to set boundaries in a healthy and assertive way.

This story provides an interactive and fun narrative, with resources that help understand the situation the protagonist is going through. Furthermore, the elements it contains allow young readers to explore their inner world:

Questions that encourage reflection and the development of emotional intelligence
A transitional element to find within the story
A game for young readers
Recommendations for adults
